Looks lovely John. We're out pottering tomorrow around the Wolds on the CD250u's, we've been using the other bikes a lot recently, so it'll be nice to have a pootle around on them for a change.

OUT AND ABOUT 2024
« Reply #302 on: September 16, 2024, 07:39:46 PM »
Just done a trip up to Sweden.

The CB Two Fifty returned around 100mpg and the Jawa 350 50mpg.
Both bikes are just over 30 years old.

That’s quite a long ferry trip! Sounds like quite a journey. That’s an impressive mpg return with the 250.

Look between the gazebo and the pub,

The car park is full of them,

It looked so nice in the sun, I was to lazy to get up and get more pictures of the bikes

Just back from the annual trip to Japan. Days between 36c and 40c, not a night (in almost three weeks for me, six for the wife) that dropped below 30c. Humidity 80 - 100%.

I've been travelling there most years since the 1980's when I worked out of Tokyo and have never known summers to be so hot and humid as now.

You can ride around the town on that little train that runs on the road!
Lovely little place Sa Coma.🛞🛞

I took my late In-Laws to Sa Coma  it was lovely weather in September,  we met a British Family who came from Leeds that were running a bar/restaurant just off the sea front. My Late father-in-law loved the train as we sat watching the world go by it would go round the block as we supped beer. Happy days,  I went to Alcudia for over 20 years with my best mate for a blokes only holiday up until 2017 when my second heart attack made foreign travel too expensive & risky.
